Three BBC “Journalists” at Scotland’s UN Conference in Geneva, Then Silence: A Plausible MI5/MI6 Operation
3 journalists from the BBC World Service travelled to Geneva to cover a historic UN conference on Scotland’s right to self determination under international law; organised by Liberation Scotland, the officially recognised Scottish liberation movement at the UN. They attended the whole conference from start to finish, observing every intervention & every exchange. Refused permission to film the proceedings, they were allowed to ask 2 questions at the close & to conduct short interviews afterwards. I was one of the interviewees.
Before the event began I presented them with hard evidence of England’s colonial domination. I showed how the FCDO, the British Council & the BBC call Scots “English” & Scotland “England” every day in countries representing more than 3 billion people. I placed in their hands the official email of the English ambassador to Indonesia that endorsed this suppression of identity. Confronted with these documents, they could not offer a rebuttal. They understood, even if they did not admit, that the state parading as the “United Kingdom” is in reality England, forcing the English name onto every other nation under its power.
Although I had kept a low profile during the conference, they asked to interview me afterwards. I spoke without ambiguity. Scotland is an English colony under occupation. The plundering of resources & the theft of identity must end. England is delusional cf. Brexit. We bear no hatred towards English people in general but we want English colonisers out. Our cause is national recovery. England would ultimately gain from the separation, because it would be forced to reinvent its future rather than survive through colonial appropriation.
Then came silence.
The BBC World Service broadcast nothing. Not a report, not a line, not a fragment of what happened in Geneva. 3 reporters were dispatched to a major conference at the UN headquarters in Geneva. They followed the entire proceedings, they allowed to ask 2 questions, they recorded interviews, & then they erased it all. In a supposed union of equals, in what is presented as a voluntary partnership, Scotland’s struggle for freedom was treated as if it did not exist.
This silence cannot be explained as routine editorial discretion. It reads instead as a deliberate act. The pattern is visible: gather intelligence, contain the message, suppress the coverage. When journalists behave as spooks (and are?), the distinction between media & state security collapses. MI5, MI6, the FCDO & the BBC function as different branches of the same colonial apparatus.
The Geneva episode illustrates the depth of Scotland’s condition. Scotland is not in a partnership, not in an equal union. Scotland is a colony. Colonies are silenced, renamed, denied recognition of their identity. Colonies are monitored, controlled, suppressed by the coloniser’s media. That is what unfolded in Geneva.
Philosophically, this silence constitutes more than absence. It is epistemic violence, the systematic destruction of knowledge about the colonised; & propaganda through omission, the erasure of truth to maintain domination. This is enforced amnesia, where the coloniser ensures that the struggle of the oppressed is never seen, heard, recorded or publicised. The English colonial state thrives not only through the plunder of land & resources but also through control of narrative & memory. Scotland’s conference at the UN revealed this clearly. The silence that followed confirmed it.
The episode proves beyond doubt that Scotland remains under colonial rule. The refusal to acknowledge the truth is not a mistake but a method. To overcome it requires exposing the silence & naming the violence; refusing erasure. That is the duty of all who resist colonial power. Saor Alba 🏴
The Orange Order is often rightly rereferred to as the Brit version of the Ku Klux Klan. One hates Catholics the other black/brown skinned people. I wonder how many people in the UK know that there is an Orange Order Lodge in the British Houses of Parliament? Absolutely shocking!
I hope that people can join these dots.
1) Diesel is now so expensive organised gangs steal it.
2) It is so expensive because of the illegal bombing of Iran - inc being conducted directly from USAF Fairford.
@BBCRadioScot dont want to hear about good news for Scotland .Only call in if you have nasty bad stories. . Even Russia and N Korea wouldnt talk down their countries like this. They are a disgrace , the lot of them.
You were right but we will still arrest you for daring to hold a placard that reads Stop Genocide Support Palestine Action. Your words are worthless Ed until you stop arresting those opposing genocide and start sanctioning, boycotting and calling out those commiting the genocide
Ach me ol mate Pete has blocked me.😢
I'd guess Defacto Ref truths hit home across SNP.
Pete was once against, then for Defacto & told me "U were right"👍
But now? Against?🤔
He once wished for a debate on it.
Maybe @PeteWishart & I can debate Defacto on zoom for indy folk?🏴👍
Off the scale hypocrisy and deceit from Ed Miliband.
Before the Supreme Court the government is arguing fiercely to maintain the criminalisation of grannies.
The front page of @ScotNational tomorrow is what every UK newspaper front page should look like.
But, as throughout the entirety of the genocide, it stands alone with a moral backbone, not afraid to tell the truth about the horrors the rest of the press whitewash.
I was with the Garvaghy Road community all weekend, and I was proud to be with the Garvaghy Road community.
The days of unionist domination and supremacy are gone. And there is no going back.
Scotland has the energy - but Westminster sets the price.
As diesel hits £2 a litre across the country, we look under the hood of Labour's fuel tax hike.
